Dave at Classical Values points out that health care might not be Obama's "Waterloo," but instead a Pyrric victory--as everybody knows that something will be passed and called "health care reform":

People keep talking about health care reform being Obama's Waterloo. It's not. It's his Heraclea, his Asculum, a potential Pyrrhic victory that might destroy his party. Americans are generally happy with their healthcare, and abhor gov't rationing and government mandates in a way Europeans and Japanese don't. Our cultural identity is built around individualism and liberty. That's why "reform" gets less popular they more people hear about specific proposals.
